Juul's nicotine products have been allowed to stay in stores pending review of its application to sell them.
The Food and Drug Administration announcedThursday that it has reversed its ban on Juul e-cigarettes while it reviews new court decisions and considers updated information provided by the vape maker.
Now, the FDA says Juul's products are back under agency review — although it emphasized that this new status was not an indication they would be fully cleared.
It's outrageous that we are still letting corpos addict our children to nicotine products in 2024. You should have to be a nerd and do the equivalent of rolling your own cigarettes or have a prescription to get vape carts. It should not be sold at fucking gas stations next to energy shots and candy bars.
The answer to predatory corporations targeting children is not helicopter parenting. Children need communities in which they can safely grow into independent, self-reliant adults. That means as a society we need to protect them from corporations that seek to exploit their naivete, whether that be via gambling, drugs, social media, or anything else.
